By: Lazaro (Laz) Diaz

Overview of this book

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Routing and Switching is one of the most important qualifications for keeping your networking skills up to date. CCNA Routing and Switching 200-125 Certification Guide covers topics included in the latest CCNA exam, along with review and practice questions. This guide introduces you to the structure of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and examines in detail the creation of IP networks and sub-networks and how to assign addresses in the network. You will then move on to understanding how to configure, verify, and troubleshoot layer 2 and layer 3 protocols. In addition to this, you will discover the functionality, configuration, and troubleshooting of DHCPv4. Combined with router and router simulation practice, this certification guide will help you cover everything you need to know in order to pass the CCNA Routing and Switching 200-125 exam. By the end of this book, you will explore security best practices, as well as get familiar with the protocols that a network administrator can use to monitor the network.

Configuring the basics of OSPF

You have already had a sneak peek into the configuration of OSPF, but let's take it back to the basics. The following diagram shows the topology:

Yes, this is the basic topology, but we will do a dual stack, shown as follows:

Configuration of R1:

Configuration of R2:

Configuration of R3:

So, what did we do? We put the IP addresses on each interface and since we are using serial cables, on the DCE side of the cable, we must use the clock rate command and assign the clock rate for synchronization and encapsulation.

Then we configured OSPF with basic configuration, which means that all we did was advertise the networks we are attached to using the process ID number, which is local to the router. The complete network ID address we are partly using is a wildcard mask and since this is the first area, we must use area 0.

We can verify several...
